WikiLeaks may not always be around and the information they have should not disappear. There is a program out there that would be great in helping to spread and share this information. That program is Tixati.<br><br>Tixati is a torrent client, but it also has Decentralized Sharing Channels. Those channels allow someone to share anything they want, search for stuff they want, and to chat with people.
